Two young boys were locked up inside ICE's notorious detention center in Texas. Then Ms. Rachel shared their stories.

“We have raised the age of enlistment in case you want your relatives to be deported”

Zero percent chance this ever gets built. Will they raise money for it? Yes. Will the money go to building it? No.

Bunch of 3-4 story row houses facing the prettiest bike lanes you’ve ever seen. And light rail all tf over the place.

Who wants to go halfsies on building our own city. 100% solar PV and battery power, maybe some wind turbines. Totally walkable city. No cars just cargo bikes and public transit. Mixed zoning w/little neighborhood shops on every corner. Every house is cute AF and mid-high density

Last summer, I received a manuscript in the mail from a 32-year-old man who wanted to tell me the story of his psychosis -- how close he came to killing his dad, and how, when it passed, they put the pieces of their relationship back together. Here it is. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/s...

When internet nerds were new, I thought they'd be like Craig Newmark, a nice guy who invented a cool thing, didn't want anyone to fuck it up, didn't let anyone fuck it up and then thirty years later wrote an editorial in the New York Times about giving away his money www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/o...

This is a really great case study in how a TON of stupid, vain, impulsive ppl are going to provide absolutely incredible mens rea in writing by interacting with chatbot services that keep records of their conversations. Amazing that this guy clearly somehow thought this shit was private.

There's one trait where economists clearly outperform the other social sciences: Hubris.

Doing insider trading by a seven-figure ETF purchase…. I had higher expectations of Patrick Deneen’s best student.

here i'm thinking of programs that allow low-income families to use housing vouchers to rent in middle-class neighborhoods

There are few things for First Amendment attorneys quite as fun as watching @remygreen.bsky.social beat up on Ron Coleman and his shitbird clients 😂 This whole thread is an experience, but stick around for Footnote 17 👀 ⬇️⬇️⬇️

You might forward this story to every Marine you know.

“You will be less ignorant” is a sufficient student learning outcome.

"ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps."

Fun fact: This was the headline I penned for last week's Sports Column. These girls are on 🔥and should always take top billing.

Four-byline alert: 🚨 “.. A broker for Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, attempted to make a big investment in major defence companies in the weeks leading up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter.” www.ft.com/content/744e...

“Far from being a model, Orbán’s Hungary is a cautionary tale of what results from an unrestrained executive with strongly centralized power, crony capitalism, and the systematic dismantling of the rule of law.”

The only tenure track positions these days are literally dying

When I am god-emperor, part of the driving test will be an essay explaining how the kinetic energy formula informs driving choices.

On the left, Elissa Slotkin’s crowd size when she was campaigning on her own. On the right, her crowd size when she was campaigning with @kamalaharris.com. Slotkin was carried across the finish line by KDH, whom Slotkin then threw under the bus. Slotkin only won bc she wasn’t running against Trump.

So I asked a few normie friends what they paid for gas this week: Ventura County off-brand guy: $5.59 Bay Area guy: $5.29 Downtown Atlanta guy (me): $3.89 NE Ohio guy: $3.49 NoVa Costco guy: $4.00 Suburban Detroit guy: $3.89 We will repeat this exercise as the Iran War wages on.

I have an unfortunate amount of time on my hands today “CHAD?” “CHAD?” “CHAD?”

Cosplaying working class Rafael Cruz went to Princeton and Harvard. When he flees his constituents without power, he stays at the Ritz-Carlton. His wife, Heidi, is Managing Director at the fancy investment firm Goldman Sachs. They are not men & women with callouses on their hands. They are elites.

The pathological liar in the White House now has his lead propagandist say with great arrogance and pride that they killed Iranian negotiators because they lied and "strung us along." These utterly irresponsible people are sick and sickening. They should never have been handed the levers of power.

Famously, this torturous approach to avoid saying "this has been a total failure & omnishambles" is the same one that the national media used when reporting on Joe Biden's not-100% surgically-clean implementation of Donald Trump's totally unplanned 🇦🇫 withdrawal timetable: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Only note here: I think the NYT might have missed that this could be an homage to January 6, since some pardoned visitors would be undoubtedly familiar with breaking and entering governmental buildings through the windows.

Great question. The problem, of course, is that every other journalist in the room didn't keep asking it until they got an answer.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY MY ENTIRE LIFE

Today, the Archive published a Disappearing Data Chronology--a timeline tracking changes in access to federal information under Trump, including major data losses and restorations, legal challenges to information takedowns, and threats to archival collections. nsarchive.gwu.edu/special-exhi...

Feb 3, 2025 - We started fighting to save our data. July 3, 2025 - We launched #SaveOurSigns with Minn librarians. April 2026 - We are still talking about the importance of public data as a public good. ❤️🛟

here we go! I'm now following @theborderchronicle.bsky.social

All these troops in this video were deployed to INSIDE the US

can anyone tell me why there's no reporting on the expanding active U.S. military operation involving every branch plus ICE & CBP within the borders of the United States?

This is called “strategic defeat.” You have ended up in a worse position than before you began, with your adversary, while battered, emerging in a stronger position than before.

Really not loving how basically every politician on the planet is jumping on board with these types of age verification laws, tbh!

Iran is winning the war

Abortion is abortion Birth control is abortion Eating deli meat is abortion Eating the wrong cheese is abortion Having a random miscarriage is abortion Working while pregnant is abortion

It takes SIXTEEN paragraphs for the New York Times to mention why the administration wanted to destroy nearly $10 million in contraception: It's because they claim the stockpile of IUDs, birth control pills, and hormonal implants are “abortifacient birth control.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/w...

I started covering this last year, and I can't overstate how important this is: the Trump administration officially labeled some of the most commonly-used forms of birth control as 'abortion' jessica.substack.com/i/173447780/...

It turns out, when you make the claim that life begins at conception, you can make all sorts of slippery slope arguments that lead to scary places.

RFK Jr. did not come up with idea that diet is important to health. This has been promoted for decades, including, famously, by Michelle Obama. In fact, he doesn’t even believe it himself. If he did he’d be busy making sure kids in the U.S. had enough to eat, instead of cutting food benefits.
